John Bianchina transformed a 1983 Kombi Volksibus into a mobile haven, complete with space for a mountain bicycle, a fridge, a tent, a camping chair, and all the essentials for a nomadic lifestyle on a limited budget. SAMA will be featuring John’s travel blog as he tours South Africa, visiting museums as he goes.

Over to John to explain a bit more…

Despite the unique challenge of navigating this adventure with the use of only one arm, join me on the road, where every twist and turn holds the promise of discovery. The heartbeat of this expedition is the immersive experience of South Africa’s cultural tapestry, brought to life through the lens of its museums. Uncover the stories that have shaped this extraordinary nation, exploring both the beauty of its landscapes and the fascinating tapestry of its history. My journey is not just about overcoming personal challenges; it’s an open invitation for you to venture into the heart of South Africa with me. Museums become more than repositories of artifacts—they are windows into the soul of a region, providing a unique and accurate perspective on its essence. Buckle up and join me as we traverse the roads less traveled, immersing ourselves in the captivating world of South African history and culture. Let this journey be a testament to the spirit of adventure, resilience, and the boundless possibilities that unfold when we dare to explore.
